This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Optimization of process parameters of major aerospace composites manufacturing
techniques is essential for manufacturing high-quality aerospace components. However …

With the development and prosperity of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, wearable
electronics have brought fresh changes to our lives. The demands for low power …

The mechanical behaviour of 3D woven composite materials is affected by deformations as
resulting from the manufacturing process. The present study is based on comparison of …

Draping of composite textile reinforcements on a square box was analyzed experimentally
and by numerical simulation. This forming is difficult for fabrics with continuous fibers due to …

In this study, polypyrrole (PPy) was coated onto pineapple-polyester (PAPF) and water
hyacinth-polyester blended fabrics (WHPF) via in situ chemical polymerization to fabricate a …

In this study, a systemic experimental program was conducted over a wide range of
temperature (218–448 K) and strain rate (0.001–1100/s) to obtain further understandings of …

A model is presented to predict the mechanical hygro-thermo-elastic properties and strength
values of composite materials reinforced with plain woven fabric. The laminate properties …

This study introduces a unit cell-based finite element micromechanical model that accounts
for correct post cure fabric geometry, in situ material properties and void content within the …

Due to their draping, stiffness, improved ductility and damage tolerance properties woven
composites are being increasingly used for the construction of crash-relevant structural …
